The Three Oppressions That Came To This Island

One of them (was) the people of the Coraniaid, who came here in the time of Caswallawn ap Beli: and not one of them went back. And they came from Arabia.

The second Oppression : the Gwyddyl Ffichti. And not one of them went back.

The third Oppression: the Saxons, with Hengist and Horsa as their leaders.

One of The Welsh Triads

Notes

The "Coraniaid" is believed to be a reference to the Tylwyth Teg, that is the fairies.

The Gwyddyl Ffichti, the painted Irish, are the Picts.
